Our Destin extended stay hotel is 100% smoke free and has a location close to the beaches, shopping and golf. We offer a pool, 24-hour Business Center, a Fitness Center and wireless Internet access.
We are pet friendly, and offer numerous local attraction discounts, and our knowledgable staff is able to help you plan the perfect vacation.

Perfect location whether visiting for work or play. Shopping, dining, entertainment and the beaches are nearby.

Hurlburt Field and Eglin Air Force Bases are a short drive as well as many defense contracting companies.

I have not been to a Holiday Inn Express that I have been dissatisfied with. Love the breakfast and the comfortable beds. The only thing I think needs to be done is the comforter on the beds needs to[More]
be changed after each person visits. [Less]

Overpriced and needs refurbishment

The property appears "tired" and could use refreshing. The property may have been priced to the market however, it was overpriced for the amenities and condition of the property. The rooms were clean[More]
but dated and there was alot of "hall" noise. The property was small - not enough space. Lobby, lounge and breakfast area were not large enough to accomodate the number of guests. For the most part, the Staff was accomodating. [Less]

A Great Vacation for a low Price!

Our family of five had a great vacation at the Holiday Express in Fort Walton Beach at the end of July. We were very satisfied with the price, the cleanliness of the facility (it is new), the[More]
hospitality of the staff, and the free breakfast options (hot and cold). Some of the beaches did have seaweed, but we were within a reasonable driving distance from Miramar to Navarre Beaches. It just so happened that the Destin and Miramar beaches were beautiful with no seaweed during our stay (I heard each week is different). I liked that there was a microwave and a refrigerator in our room and a washer and dryer on the 2nd floor. I would recommend this hotel to others and we will probably return for another beach trip in the future. [Less]

'A Pleasant Visit

I had a good experience at the Fort Walton Beach NW HIE. This is the second time I have stayed there in the past year. It served my need well. Last time I was there, I was a guest of my daughter who[More]
arranged the reservation. This time I did it myself and had no difficulty. The response from the hotel was interactive and considerate. [Less]

Absolutely Incredible Experience

My wife, our Son, and I, stayed at the Holiday Inn Resort - Fort Walton Beach for four nights and we loved it. The hotel is very modern and very conveniently located, right on the beach with an[More]
awesome pool area. The room was very clean and comfortable. The air conditioner worked perfectly and kept the room dry and comfortable. (if you are familiar with the heat and humidity of the Gulf Coast, you will understand how important this is.) The hotel food was absolutely amazing and was the best food that we ate during our stay. You simply will not believe that you are eating "hotel food". The burger is probably the best that if ever had and their steaks are "out of this world". The hotel staff was super friendly and accomodating. Specifically, Katrina, Jordan, and their manager made our stay delightful. They specifically stated that working their was like one big family and we could easily see just that. We can't wait to go back to this hotel. [Less]

Excellent Customer Service

My family and I recently stayed at The Holiday Inn Resort in Fort Walton Beach for four days. I visited Fort Walton for a conference in the area. My six year old and mother traveled with me.
The[More]
resort staff were very professional and went the "extra mile" to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The front desk staff we interacted with the most were Zach, Zac, and Courtney! They did an exceptional job of making sure we did not need any thing. They were so friendly and added to the warm environment of the resort!
Chrissi, that works in the bar was especially helpful every time we interacted with her. She had a great personality and is a natural at her job! Borko and Xavier were also wonderfully helpful! They added to our positive experience. Imani, is a a breathe of fresh air! She is so great with children and scheduled fun activities that my daughter enjoyed daily! We met Kevin Price our first day there in the lobby. He informed us that he and the staff strive for excellent customer service. In my opinion, they are definitely reaching this goal. We will return for the beautiful resort, beach and the excellent customer service! [Less]
